Best Crypto Exchanges of 2025 – Final Rankings & Highlights from a Historic Year

Flare Network has rolled out a new yield-focused product in collaboration with 
Upshift and Clearstar that offers XRP holders a way to earn returns without 
selling their XRP holdings. XRP’s price action has been bearish in recent 
weeks, and that calm has carried into the past trading sessions. The 
cryptocurrency is trading around $1.87, after staying confined between roughly 
$1.83 on the downside and $1.88 on the upside in the latest session. This 
subdued price behavior has preoccupied recent discussions, but development 
around its ecosystem has continued quietly in the background. Flare Launches 
New XRP Product Flare Network has officially introduced a new product designed 
to expand what XRP holders can do with their cryptocurrencies besides holding 
or trading. The product, which is called earnXRP, is positioned as the first 
on-chain yield solution that is fully denominated in XRP, and at the same 
time, addresses a long-standing gap in the ecosystem where earning yield 
typically required moving into stablecoins or other assets. Related Reading: 
The Decision That Could Change Everything For XRP Investors The launch is 
built around Flare’s FAssets system, which allows XRP to be represented on the 
network as FXRP on a one-to-one basis. To participate in earnXRP, holders 
deposit FXRP (XRP represented 1:1 on Flare) directly into an on-chain vault, 
where those assets are deployed across yield-generating strategies. In return, 
users receive a receipt token that tracks their deposited FXRP along with any 
yield accrued over time, with earnings remaining fully denominated in XRP. 
Users receive earnXRP, which represents the user’s deposited FXRP plus any 
yield generated over time. This structure removes much of the complexity 
typically associated with DeFi participation. Strategy execution, rebalancing, 
and compounding are handled within the vault. Users can also request 
withdrawals at any time, a process where their earnXRP tokens are burned, and 
FXRP is returned to their wallet. Muted Price Reaction For The Altcoin Flare’s 
earnXRP is one of the few avenues XRP holders can participate in DeFi. FXRP is 
a 1:1 ERC-20 representation of XRP that unlocks DeFi utility not possible on 
the XRP Ledger alone. Related Reading: XRP Price Falls To Critical Support 
Level, Is It Time To Panic? &#8220;Only 0.1% of XRP supply is utilized in DeFi, 
despite it being the 5th largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Users have not 
had an easy way to capture sustainably high returns. We&#8217;re excited to work 
with Flare and Clearstar to unlock XRP yield using the new Flare XRP Yield 
vault,&#8221; said Ethan, Growth Lead at Upshift. Despite the significance of the 
launch from a utility standpoint, the immediate market response has been 
limited. XRP is still trading within its recent range, with the price still 
below $1.9 and showing little reaction to the announcement. This response 
shows that the altcoin is currently heavily influenced by broader market 
conditions and macro sentiment, which have weighed on price action across the 
entire sector. Featured image from Pngtree, chart from Tradingview.com
